When I go grocery shopping, I pick up plenty of fruits thinking I should incorporate a lot of it in my diet as they are healthy and nutritious and blah blah blah. By the end of the week, I would still have most of the fruits lying in my pantry. This time, I made a quick fruit tart.

All you need is a basic pie crust, some whipped cream and fruits of your choice. 😀

The other day, we were ‘FaceTime’-ing hubby’s sister in the US, and she goes on and on about this amazing ‘Tres Leches Cake’ that she tried. The way she explained it, I just couldn’t wait to try it. I immediately looked it up on Google and this is what Wikipedia had to say:

Tres Leches Cake is a basic sponge cake or butter cake, soaked in three kinds of milk: whole milk, evaporated milk and sweetened condensed milk. It is then topped with whipped cream and fruits of your choice.

Sounds amazing right?

I’ve followed a basic microwave recipe that can be made in a mug but I’ve used a square shaped microwavable box for easy slice-and-eat, and for better visualization.
You can follow the same recipe to make this in sandwich makers, waffle makers, or any other way you would like it. Call them Tres Leches Sandwiches or Waffles. 😀

When everyone tries the regular carrot halwa, wouldn’t you want to go for something different?

Beets are one of my favorite vegetables, especially because of its color and the sweet taste that they are renowned for. Serving beetroot halwa with vanilla ice-cream is my staple party favorite, because you just need to make a little and serving it along with ice cream is always a hit. The redness of the beets makes it a point to stand out and add to the beauty of the dish.

So pick a few of them from your pantry, and make sure you have the below listed ingredients to begin with.

Dates are one of the most popular fruits of the Arabian Peninsula. It’s health and nutritional benefits are endless. In Saudi, you find dates all-year-round. Fresh dates are way softer and juicier, when compared to the packaged dry ones.

Imagine these healthy goodies with an “edible-seed” and coated with your favorite chocolate spread.
All you need is 10 minutes.

To make date truffles, fresh dates would be better, but you could go for the dry ones too.

If you choose to use the dry ones, it would be ideal to soften them by soaking the dates in warm water for about 5 minutes.

When I go grocery shopping, I pick up plenty of fruits thinking I should incorporate a lot of it in my diet as they are healthy and nutritious and blah blah blah. By the end of the week, I realize I’ve hardly eaten any of it. When I have a lot of fruits in hand, and I’m not in a mood to eat them just as they are, fruit salad is my go-to option.

Mom-in-law’s super-awesome rich and creamy “Fruit Salad” recipe, that never goes wrong. I mean, seriously! Just look at it! Can it get any better? I don’t think so!
